Each hit on a node generates resource drops. The game randomly picks a resource from the loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the node faster, which can reduce total drops. The "best" melee is where you get the most drops.

Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Lightning Wyvern is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

The Lightning Wyvern has 1,295 base Health - a proper tank. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Lightning Wyvern has decent hitting power. Stamina sits at 315 base, providing decent staying power. A base Weight of 400 means good carrying capacity.

The Lightning Wyvern cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 80°C and 90°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 120 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.82 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
